Let me first say that I rebuild daily, so I have some experience with
odd errors. This one happens early in the boot process, when the kernel
is loading. Usually you get the fake ASCII spinny gadget but in this
instance it stops with "/".

I've tried my usually working kernel and it doesn't work as /netbsd. I
tried GENERIC.MPACPI and it doesn't work as /netbsd. However, if I
rename any of them to onetbsd or compress it to netbsd.gz, it works. In
the primary booter, if I do an "ls", it shows all of the kernels to be
of size 3 or 4 except for "netbsd" which is hundreds of thousands of
whatever number I'm seeing.

I don't know if you can help, but there it is.
